Mrs E. J. Church at her favourite spot at Margaret Road recreation ground but with nowhere to rest in October, 1979
Following an appeal by the organiser of Age Concern for donations in October, 1979, a pensioner wrote to the Oxford Mail asking for some specific help.
In a letter she said 'we all have different needs' and that what would most benefit her would be somewhere to sit when she or her daughter took her dog for a walk around Margaret Road recreation ground.

The Headington resident added: "We should often like to stay much longer but there is only one seat, or to be correct there are only the remains of a seat."
She added: "Could I please appeal to Age Concern, the city council or whoever would like to make it their concern, to provide us with a seat?"
